About the Book

This is Karl Thornton's second published book. His first being the best seller "Violence Evolving". This publication is on the topic of controlling distance. A factual look at the realities of anger, aggression and violence and the necessity to control distance during a confrontation.
There are 14 chapters covering on the topic of controlling distance.
Many areas in this publication will also expand on and include segments from my previous book. “Violence Evolving - The physiology and Psychology of violence". Looking at the process of dealing with anger, how through our own actions, or the intended outcome of the aggressor, anger can escalate to aggression and to violence.
This publication looks at the basics of the psychological and physical applications of dealing with anger, aggression and violence. To better understand what is going on when we are faced with reality. What is normal and legal behaviour, and what is deemed illegal and unlawful behaviour. It focuses on how we control distance and control the process of anger and its escalation into aggressive and violent behaviours. How we can use assessment measures to try to de-escalate and negotiate. And where unavoidable how to deal with Active Threat Control.
